Best Female Performance in Juno

Best Movie: Juno

Best Kiss: Juno & Bleeker

Wise-cracking “Juno” star Ellen Page to play “Jane Eyre?” In a BBC production?

Not everyone in the blogosphere is thrilled with the latest casting news announced this week.

It is somewhat hard to imagine the sarcastic “Smart People” star as the lead in this swooning Gothic romance penned by Charlotte Brontë, one of the most filmed novels in movie history.

Playing the love-struck governess will be Page’s first period part. Right now, she’s busy filming Drew Barrymore’s “Whip It” and wearing full-on roller derby gear.

Wonder how she’s gonna like those period whale-bone corsets?

The Oscar-nominated actress never looked particularly comfortable wearing dresses — period — during the 2008 awards season.

Brontë fans throughout the blogosphere are praying they don’t ask Diablo Cody to write the screenplay….

Juno’s leading actress Ellen Page has been cast as the lead for the new BBC adaptation of Jane Eyre. This certainly is a big change from Page’s character in Juno as a pregnant teenager. It’s great how Page is branching out into more serious roles. However, some British film experts aren’t so thrilled with the casting. According to Digital Spy, a source is quoted saying: “No one is doubting Ellen Page’s acting abilities, but why a BBC movie of Jane Eyre couldn’t have a British actress in the lead is pretty hard to stomach. “It’s not as if we don’t have enough talented young actresses here who could play the role.” However, American actors have played British roles umpteen times and vice versa and there has never been a commotion about it. For example, Renée Zellweger played Bridget Jones and Cate Blanchett played Queen Elizabeth.

I’ve added all four promos when Ellen hosted SNL.
